To tlie Home Builder 



This book of designs, showing - one hundred homes, most of which have been actually erected in Seattle and vicinity at the cost appended to 
each, is issued to aid the home builder in crystalizing his ideas. After this is accomplished we are prepared to express them in stone, brick or wood, 
through the medium of our carefully prepared plans and specifications. To make absolutely sure that they are exactly carried out we superin¬ 
tend the work, if desired, at a trifling cost compared with our saving to the owner. 

Hundreds of satisfied families living in homes erected from our plans are our excuse for offering this selection to the public. Herein may be 
found homes suited to every purse, from the cosy .$500 cottage to the $6,000 city residence ; homes suited to varied tastes from the Colonial cottage 
to the sumptuous seaside bungalow of shaggy hemlock logs. 

If you are not quite suited by any fioor plan or exterior shown we will gladly prepare new ones to meet your every requirement of cost and 
.stvie. 


Important 

You cannot afford to build without carefully prepared plans, specifications and details. The services of a skilled architect are imperative, to 
obtain good results in even the simplest home. You may succeed in building a well constructed dwelling, without architectural superintendence, 
though few there are who have that happy experience. Xo one ever built satisfactorily without plans, the cost of which is saved many times 
over before the building is half completed. 

Detail Makes the House 

A design may he selected from this book and built without plans and details with the inevitable result, a caricature of the original. A house 
is but an aggregation of details—in the successful house built from plans every detail is studied with relation to its neighbor, giving a harmonious 
whole. The carpenter’s house is built without regard to detail, is rushed together with no thought as to what has gone before or is to come 

■ after. • .... 

Ten dollars saved building without plans is a hundred dollars lost in the building. 

In Ordering Plans 

FIRST. —Order by design number, giving page on which shown in book. 

SECOND.— Enclose Postal Money Order or Bank Draft for the cost given under Design selected. 

THIRD.— In ease radical changes are desired write us or call at our office and explain the nature of same. f

Information of Great Value to Architects, Contractors and Homebuilders 


Covering Plans and Specifications for Installing the 

Combination Coal and Gas Majestic Range 

Will Be Forwarded Free of Charge llpon Request 

The MAJESTIC COMBINATION COAL AND GAS RANGE, saves the investment and maintenance of two cook¬ 
ing apparatus. 

It saves kitchen space. 

It saves expense, labor and dirt of “setting up” and “taking down” as the seasons change. 

It saves labor in operation; all drafts, dampers, valves, and, in fact, all parts of the range are accessible, and every 
dish, in oven, on top or in broiler, can be reached by the operator while standing in front of the range. 

It saves annoyance from dirt that gathers in space between two ranges when both are in the kitchen. 

IT REDUCES THE FUEL BILL—IN BOTH COAL AND GAS SECTION—BY ONE-IIALF. 

It has only one plumbing connection, and the most powerful water heaters of any cooking apparatus in both the 
coal and gas sections. 

It saves time, for it does its work thoroughly and promptly and is always ready for business. 

It saves the food; for perfect distribution of the heat (which is only possible by using malleable iron), assures an 
evenness of temperature that can be depended upon every time. 

The coal range can be operated in winter, the gas section in summer, or if desired, both at the same time. The 

operation of either coal or gas section is entirely independent of the other. 

When a meal is prepared for one or two persons, one gas burner can be lighted, and the meal cooked at. the cost of 

a cent or two, saving the necessity of building a coal fire. When company drops in, one can cook for 10 or '20 people. 

It regulates itself to the wants of the family, saving the cost, which is ordinarily as great to cook for one or two per¬ 
sons as for a large family. 

There is not one day in winter that the gas section cannot be used for some small accommodation. 

The gas section and coal section, and the gas water heater and coal water heater, while connected by one plumbing 
connection, are entirely independent of each other.

VARNISH IN ARCHITECTURE 


THE PRINCE AND THE JEWEL 


A certain Prince once owned a magnificent jewel which he valued above all his other possessions, and which was a 
continual source of pleasure not only to himself but to his friends, to whom he never wearied of showing it. One day, how¬ 
ever. the Prince discovered a flaw in his jewel, upon which he lost all pleasure in it, and his friends saw it no more. 

Architecture furnishes numerous parallel cases with the Prince and his jewel. Most modern homes are architectural 
gems, beautiful in design and execution, and as great a source of pride and satisfaction to the owner as the jewel to the 
Prince. One of the commonest flaws incident to architectural gems is in the interior finish, caused usually by the use of poor 
or inappropriate varnish, and thus an otherwise perfect piece of work is frequently marred. 

The only way to get a perfect interior finish is to use a perfect varnish. The majority of perfect interiors of natural 
woods are finished with “BERRY BROTHERS’ ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES ”
